Make sure to let each layer dry completely before applying the next to avoid smudging.
Use a light touch when applying the floral designs for more delicate patterns.
Experiment with different sizes of embellishments for varied looks.
If you're nervous about the gradient effect, practice on a piece of paper before trying it on your nails.
Always seal your design with a top coat to enhance longevity and shine.
